[Q] hong kong knock off tablet - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all, so just recently i ordered a knock off android tablet running 2.1, now to be honest it ain't all to crash hot seeing as how slow this runs. I've been doing a bit of looking around to see any way in which i may root this tablet in order to flash a better rom then the current stock rom, but to my dismay i have not located anything such. As it is a knock off there is no official brand name so it is quite hard to locate any real help on rooting this device. here is a link to the product i bought ( [ww w.dealextreme.com/p/compact-7-capacitive-lcd-google-android-2-1-tablet-pc-w-wi-fi-tf-camera-71022 remove the space in the www ) i hope someone can offer me some help on my problem. cheers in advance

Official Initial Thread: Malata Zpad T8/T8-3G (Roms/Questions/Developments)

Hello,
Since there is many random threads but nothing is official. I am opening one official thread so all concerns about this great tablet can be questioned and answered here
Go Go Go!
1) Anyone knows how soon custom Android 3 / Honyecomb Rom expected to be released for T8?
2) I dont get it...for a week i got convinced by web that T8 as newest model more advanced, better...etc...then T2. So i spent today online 600$ + 49USD DHL express to get this beast as good investment for long time (assuming its best tablet with power which can handle long term demands...)
Now some weird finding...
ZPAD T2:
Under web sote of MALATA!
They say: hardware 3D acceleration
BUT on ZPAD T8 they say nothing about 3D:
in other hand both says Tegra 2 T20....
Confusing and frustrating....
Please help me understand what i am missing here
Other question, Since no one was willing attach GPS module with t8-3g i ordered...Any one knows if I can use GPS usb dongle from dealextreme as GPS for t8-3g?
Thanks!
zpad T8
One subscriber more here.
As soon as I heard still is not built the GPS model, anyway in my case I bought a Bluetooth antena cost 60€ aprox (was not the cheapes one) and I installed blue4gps and I got it running perfectly, I'm realy suprised as is sincronasing satelites and having and amazing coverage all better than my tomtom wich I payes one year ago 250€ per it.
I got some small problem with google market as I can not get a lot of aplications from there, but downloading from a diferent place are running perfectly.
Of course you need to delete a lot of things and install some other but as I expected before order my ztab T8.
What I really miss is to have phone functions included on the phone in order to run some app like whatsup or make a direct call from a website from isntance.
Another big thing I miss and I hope someone will help me is that I was not able to install voice search (google) is giving me a error during isntallation and not able to make it work.
Really I'm more interested into have 2.3 than 3.0 as sure are more aplications for it, 3.0 I guess is still too early to be interesting.
I already downloaded a 2.3.4 rom from Ezpad but I think is not working for 3G or something should be done for make it run and as I don't have it clear because of the bad translations from google or babelfish I still had not tested.
Also want some info if someone already installed CWM, in any case I installed titunium backup and made a update.zip of my app to restore it easily if is the case...
3D aceleration.... I had once one error telling me was not 3D aceleration and not allowing me to instal sygic, later one I download it from a diferent place and I'm running the latest version without problem, just a comment... amazing street navitation presentation, what a grafics....
for rooting just install Z4root.
Thats all for now folks, hope to join more people and share experience for getting profit of this great tablet.
Just one think I bout it for about 350€ shipping included from hotmid.com without leathercase and screen protector neither, If somebody is thinking on buyiing this model I strongly recomend try to get some goot price from them as I was not able to get it cheaper anywhere.
Regards
David

[Q] Heellup !!! Heellup !!!

Dear All
As my nusername suggests i am very new at this Android game and would like to draw on the wealth of experience that is out there.
I did not want to make a massive investment on my first tablet in case i couldn't get to grips with Android so i bought a cheap Chinese machine to fumble my way around. The problem is..... I cannot find any way of updating the Android version on the machine. From the machine itself, it tells me i am using Android version 2.3.1 but i know there are later versions out there but i don't know how or where to find the appropriate one for my machine.
The specifications of my machine and some photo's can be found on the attached Word doc and i would be greatful if anyone can help me out. I have managed to root the machine using Gingerbreak but i'm now stuck !!!
Thanks in anticipation
There isn't really support (if any) for most of those "cheap" Chinese Tablets.

[Q] Help with a Chinese phone...?

Hello
First of all apologies if I am listing this new thread in the wrong place, I am fairly new to the forum!
Secondly, I have read that many people do not much like the Chinese phones, but I was looking for a decent spec, cheap phone for my 13 year old son, so that I would not care too much when he stands on it while playing sports at school, or it get 'misplaced'/lost/stolen by some other 13 year old, or if he simply abuses it to hell and so this iBOLD X-U 4.7" (1280x720) quad core phone just fitted the bill.
So I bought one and out of the box it looks and operates as expected, other than... the dreaded Chinese apps! Most of the apps are English/in English, but it has some in Chinese, one of which I believe is something to do with the rooting of the phone (does "com.mgyun.shua.su" mean anything to anyone?). I am also unable to find a custom ROM for it, or any instructions on how to get round to do this...
The main question is, how do I get to a UK/English only ROM/Software/Setup/Menus & Messages for this phone please, to at least get to Google store only apps? Am I asking too much and is this possible (on a Chinese phone) please? If I can flash it up from the 4.2.2 version it reports to be loaded with, to something like KitKat it would be brilliant!
Apologies for the relative inexperience, I do build normal PC's and write some code, just never not got round to changing anything on an Android phone (or worked with Linux type software!) as yet, so any help/advice welcome!
Many thanks
Assuming you are rooted and have a custom recovery, otherwise this is not possible via recovery.
If that's the case, extract your zip and make sure you install the proper DPI, all that is done automatically if you can flash a zip.
This is 5.0 gapps, KitKat linked in the op.

Archos 70 Xenon color

Dear XDA members,
First of all, thank you for your interest in this topic.
(If this topic is placed in the wrong section; my apoliges. feel free to relocate this topic.)
I have a question regarding the Archos Xenon Color 70,
The there a way to find out which generation this tablet is? This with the intention to know more about the tablet and maybe I can find a custom rom for it and play with it.
Background story:
I bought one in an impulse buy to give away to a friend. However; this tablet is actually quite nice so I bought another one to play with When I check chinese webshops I can find many tablets with the same specs, I think they have the same internals so I hope that I can put a "general" rom on it.
Thank you very much for your interest in this topic.
In case you have any questions; feel free to ask.
With kind regards,
Tiwtik

Help please

Hi Guys I have been a long time lurker of the XDA forums and have had quite a bit of success installing and using the roms I have found here.
Right now I am in need of some help and I am hoping someone could point me in the right direction.
I have a Tablet that I purchased from Ali Express it goes by the name "CARBAYSTAR T7" I have no idea what this really is. When I trace the IMEI it comes back as a Galaxy S Duos (GT-S7562)
It has been a great little device but I have recently become involved in testing some of our new security products at work and NEED to flash this strange little tablet to at least 6.0.1 marshmallow (7.0 or higher would be better)
Has anyone here had any dealings with this tablet in the past or do any of you know anyone that might have ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
